​Don’t Add Oil! Hong Kong gasoline prices the highest in the world

Do you sometimes wonder how you cope with the MTR? This is how.
 
Statistics published by Global Petrol Prices show that this month, Hong Kong has the highest gasoline prices in the world at HKD15.19 a litre, coming second to only Norway (at HKD15.58) for all of Q2.
 
Gas prices in Hong Kong were at HKD14.89 per litre on April 13 but steadily rose to HKD15.2 per litre by July 20, peaking from June 15 to 22 at HKD15.54. 
 
For a comparison, the average price of gasoline in the world per litre during that same time period was HKD11.13.
 
Currently trailing Hong Kong in gasoline prices are Norway at HKD15.14 per litre, the Netherlands at HKD14.81 per litre, Italy at HKD14.14 per litre and the UK at HKD14.07 per litre.
 
It’s a good job only the rich drive here, we suppose.
